John Fabina’s Michigan Upper Peninsula Kayak Fishing Trip Report

John Fabina’s report from his inspiring kayak fishing trip in Michigan Upper Peninsula:

-”I spent time on two rivers in two days. Fishing started slow the first day but picked up the second day. The W made it possible for me to take a small entrance off the main river and find a beaver lodge. There was a nice deep hole by the lodge. I caught quite a variety in this honey hole. Smallmouth bass, perch, northern pike, and my first walleye landed on the W which was 18″. I lost one the same size the day before alongside the boat, I forgot my landing net. I was also able to sneak up on a deer, and snap a photo. My W truly made this an enjoyable and successful trip.”

John”

    Nice job landing those beauties.

    I really like your tape measure……..Now why didn’t I think about that?

    See that, every W Owner’s ideas, can be an answer to another
    W’s owners questions.
